1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Wugong Mountain meadow landscape is well-known both at home and abroad because of its ornamental value. Our study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the function of soil and water conservation at different altitudes of Wugong Mountain meadow soil. The hydro-physical characteristics, including the soil bulk density, porosity, water content, water holding capacity, and permeability of meadow soil at 1600 m-1900 m altitudes, were analyzed. The results showed that the mountain meadow soil's hydro-physiological characteristics and water conservation function significantly differed with altitude. However, the trend of each index did not follow the same law with altitude change. There was a decrease in bulk density of the soil from 1700 m to 1900 m, but a significant increase in porosity and water-holding capacity. Despite the higher porosity and water holding capacity found at 1600 m than at 1700 m and 1800 m, a similar bulk density was found at 1600 m as 1700 m. In addition, the bulk density in the 0-20 cm layer was lower than that in the 20-40 cm layer, while the porosity and water-holding capacity were higher. A higher sequence of soil water conservation capacity was found in soil layers 0-20 cm depth at 1900, 1600, 1800, and 1700 m; in soil layers 20-40 cm depth, it was at 1900, 1800, 1700, and 1600 m. The study found that the sequence of the comprehensive performance of soil water conservation function was at 1900, 1600, 1800, and 1700 m altitudes in the Wugong mountain meadow area. Our comprehensive study of soil water conservation capacity provides a theoretical basis for the rational use of mountain meadow resources in subtropical regions.
